For the entire 2010-11 broadcast season, it should be no surprise to anyone following our weekly posts that Modern Family and Fringe topped our rankings for DVR viewing added between the Live+Same Day period (as reported in all our other ratings posts) and the Live + 7 Day measurement periods.

Modern Family led all shows for adults 18-49 ratings added after airdate via DVR viewing, adding on average 1.7 adults 18-49 ratings points to its Live+Same Day adults 18-49 ratings.

Fringeled the % adults 18-49 ratings increase from DVR viewing, adding on average 56% to its Live+Same Day adults 18-49 ratings.

Modern Family also topped the absolute average viewership gained from DVR viewing, adding on average 4.203 million average viewers via DVR viewing between the Live+Same Day and Live + 7 day measurement periods.

Do the Live+7 ratings tell us anything about a show’s renewal prospects we didn’t already know from the Live+SD ratings? No. Click here to learn more.

Note that the Live+Same Day ratings averages below are only for original episodes and exclude repeats, so they may differ from other season averages you have seen that include repeats.

The average viewership increase From DVR Viewing ranks which of the top broadcast shows [by Live+7 viewers] had the largest absolute increase in average viewership by DVR between the Live + Same Day and Live + 7 day ratings measurements.
–Definitions:

DVR (Time-shifted) Adults 18-49 Ratings – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data Live, Live+Same Day(Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs.

Live+Same Day(Live+SD) ratings include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing.

Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

DVR Ratings Increase Past Airdate – How many people watched the show on their DVRs within 7 days following the airdate

Until the 2009-2010 season, we used a show’s LIVE program rating or viewership as the base upon which the LIVE+7 day DVR viewing was added. Now, the press seems to be standardizing around using LIVE+SAME DAY DVR viewing as the base for the calculations, so that’s what we do now as well.
